🏆 River Rally Spring Season Champions 🏆
After 11 grueling weeks (cut short by two snow days), we wrapped up another incredible season of River Rally at Norwich Fitness Center
From the very beginning, Edwin Cardenas set the pace, finishing the season with an amazing 9 gold medals. His only silver medal came while playing as a solo, making his performance even more impressive.
But River Rally has never been just about winning. This season, 70 players came together from all skill levels to compete, laugh, improve, and make new friends. One round you might have been partnered with Edwin, and the next you were trying to beat him. That’s the beauty of this format—it gives everyone a chance to play with and against different players, learn from one another, and enjoy some friendly competition.
As the organizer, watching this community continue to grow has been the most rewarding part. I truly appreciate everyone’s patience, encouragement, and willingness to embrace new ideas as we’ve continued to fine-tune River Rally. It’s because of all of you that this has become one of the highlights of our week.
Congratulations to Edwin on an incredible season, and thank you to every single person who showed up, competed, cheered each other on, and made this league what it is.
☀️ Summer River Rally kicks off this Monday for a 13-week open league—and hopefully this season we’ll avoid any snow days! Whether you’re brand new to pickleball or you’ve been playing for years, everyone is welcome. Come join the fun!
